意大利驚現水上黃金大道 遊客可以體驗水上漫步

Thousands of people stepped out onto artist Christo Javacheff's latest work in northern Italy, seizing the chance to "walk on water".

近日，數千人登上了藝術家克里斯托·賈瓦切夫在意大利北部的最新作品，抓住機會"在水上走一遭"。

The project, titled "The Floating Piers", cost EUR15m to create and is made up of 200,000 floating cubes covered in orange fabric.

該項目被稱爲“浮動碼頭”，耗資1500萬歐元，由表面覆蓋橙色布料的20萬隻漂浮的立方體組成。

Earlier, the most eager fans of Christo, as he is universally known, spent the night camped out to be the first to step onto the three kilometre (1.9 mile)-long runway.

在早些時候，由於克里斯托非常出名，所以他最熱情的粉絲甚至在外邊露營過夜，以保證能成爲第一個走上這段三公里（1.9英里）長的通道上的人。

It is currently floating atop Lake Iseo, connecting the village of Sulzano to the small island of Monte Isola on the lake.

該碼頭現在漂浮在尹塞奧湖上，連接蘇爾扎諾村和湖上小島蒙泰伊索拉。

"It's a very physical project, you need to go there (to understand it)," Christo said of the project called "The Floating Piers" which is open to the public from June 18 to July 3.

克里斯托在談到這個被稱爲“浮動碼頭”、從6月18日到7月3日期間對公衆開放的項目時表示：“這是一個身體力行的項目，你需要去那裏，實地去了解它。”

More than 55,000 visitors attempted to cross the walkways last weekend, forcing organizers, who had anticipated just 40,000, to ask that they return another day.

上週末，超過5.5萬遊客試圖穿行該走道，迫使組織者請這些人改日再來。此前，組織者預計遊客人數只有4萬。

The walkways can only hold 11,000 people at any one time - and only if weather conditions allow.

該走道無論何時都只能承納1.1萬人，這還只是在天氣條件允許的條件下才能實現。

"It's a great feeling, I am very satisfied with the result which is the product of cooperation between all the organisations that have guaranteed the safety of all of those wanting to walk on the water," said Lombardy regional president Roberto Maroni.

倫巴第地區的長官羅伯託·馬羅尼表示：“這種感覺真的很棒。我非常滿意所有組織之間合作的結果。是他們保證了所有那些想在水上行走的人的安全。”

Around 150 people were posted on the walkway to ensure safety wile 30 lifeguards were on hand in the event of an accident.

大約有150人在通道上確保安全，此外還有30名救生員在發生事故時隨時待命。
